thanks. The EEE PC series of machines is not much larger, and their
keyboards are 100% more usable; that's what I'm using now, but
unfortunately they are much heavier and use much more power...
There is a difference between whining and pointing out questionable
design... if you assume any complaint is whining, I assume you are a troll.
Not that I would speak for Gene, but he used the word "whinge", not the
word "whine". They have different meanings. "Whinge" specifically
means "complain". "Whine" specifically means "cry".

I've
used on something bigger than a PDA or cell-phone. I wanted to
use it as a low-weight low-power ssh console, but I'd rather slam my
fingers in a door than try to type on that keyboard for any length of
time.
So go get a small form factor USB keyboard and just plug it in. You
could also continue to whinge about how your adult hands don't fit on
a keyboard designed for children. Your call.
